Clover IIay for sheen,

When sheep have clover hay, says us
high authority as l.. ID. Curtis, they will
NOT have the stretches, as clover keeps the
bowels from becoming constipatcd; and
for the same reason they do not need lin
seed meal, which they should always have
if fed on timothy hay. This does not
agree with sheep, and should always be
fed in connection With roots or linsccd
meal to offset its constituting effect.

.I%}arnyard Manure.

The amount of manure Which III animal
will drop, and which can be saved and
used for fextilizing purposes, will, of
course, vary with the size of the animal
and the amount of food eaten. 1t will
vary in weight from one-half I" two-thirds
of the weight of food and water consumed
and bedding used. Ii, says The National
Live Stock Journal. all the liquids and

be $50 to 115 pounds daily for an average

Still Another Bad Railroad Accident.

A bad wreck occurred on the Milwaukee
road near the Sioux crossing, three miles
east OF Canton. Dakota. Passenger Train
No. 2, bound east, J. M. Morse, conductor,
ran into the rear OF Freight Train No. y.
Both trains were going at full speed. The
freight train was switching at Inwood,
Iowa, and the rear brakes were not set.
The rear end OF the train came laundering
down grade toward Canton, distance Of
several miles, and collided with the pas
senger. Following is q list of the killed:
Andrew Derreth OF Rock Valley, Iowa.
who was in the freight caboose asleep. He
lived at Rock Valley, Iowa. and leaves a
family.
w. A Ploos OF McGregor, Iowa, the pas
senger engineer. He leaves a family.
Charles Dunbar OF Mason City, Iowa, the
passenger fireman.
Passengers were in the smoker, one in
the express car, and about twenty in the
FIRST class coaches. Their escape was truly
miraculous. One baggage and one mail
car, locomotive, one smoker, six cars OF
wheat, one car OF cattle and the freight ca
boose are piled into one heap or scat tered
over the prairie. The blame is attached to
q. II. Milliken, conductor of the freight for

Herr Most Very Furious. i.

The news OF the affirmation by the su-
preme court OF Illinois OF the decision of
the lower court in the case of tho Chicago
anarchists caused great excitement among
New York socialists and anarchists. Herr
Most was furious.
'.Workingmen." says he, s'will on peace
ably allow this to take place? Allow
the punishment of the representa- tives who
have identified themselves with your
cause-these ideals OF your class?- No
stone should be left unturned to assist
the condemned. The sacrifice would
strengthen the cause. The condemned men
were evangelists who had preached to the
workingmen. The cruel deed OF Nov. II
could be prevented if the anarchists SO,
wished. Workingmen must7 show their
military strength. An indignation mass
meeting must be held at once and money
raised to fight the battle OF justice and the
salvation OF the martyrs" Most demands
a decision in the case OF the United States
supreme court, and says that agitation
meetings should be held all over the coun-
try until the court dare declare the
law constitutional. 1.-The question OF
their bloodshed is not settled yet. Let
every one do his duty, and it never will be
life to the soldiers. Hail the social evolu
tion."

bered fully $500, and assembled to pro-
test against the hanging OF the condemned
Chicago anarchists. Many women were in
the hall, and they all wore red
ribbons. and effected the red anarchists
colors in their dresses. Pictures OF
the doomed bomb tl,rowers looked down
from the front OF the platform. The hero
Of the night was Most. Friends and
anarchists" said he, lis it unlawful to
have free speech in this country. What
are these men guilty OF? Are they thieves
or murderers? They fought against the
numbering police and robbing capitalists.
You cannot allow that hanging to take
place. Arm yourselves, and for
every drop OF blood that is shed
from our friends let it cost
a human life. The capitalists shall be the
first to suffer. No one shall escape his
just dues. The twelve jurors, judges and
detective spies will not sleep very soundly
at present. Let them he aware. The
time is approa ching when we will be forced
to use firearms. IT must come; so he pre-

train. The scene was horrible. Scores OF
people lay bleeding or dead, wedged amid
the splintered woodwork and debris. 1t
